One day while watching TED talks on YouTube I came across Jennifer. Brea’s video.  And from the moment she starting speaking I thought, “oh my God, this is exactly what we’re dealing with trying to get people to pay attention to Steph’s cluster headaches.” And as I began to watch and listen to her story further I was soon in tears.  The amount of absolute hell CFS/M.E. puts a person affected by the condition and their loved ones through is absolutely heartbreaking to hear.     And here it is 2018, and we’re fighting for those dealing with chronic invisible illnesses to be taken seriously and to investigate, and fund countless of medical conditions that affect thousands upon thousands-even billions of people every day.
